Introduction
Last years wiki: 2017 HF Radio Automated Link Establishment (ALE) Model
Background
1. Why HF radio is still used
- Areas without established communication infrastructure
- Military operations
- Humanitarian efforts
- ALE makes it easy, don't need expert training
2. How ionospheric properties effect HF wave propagation
3. Using predictive software to account for seasonal effects
4. Effect of mobility
5. HALT testing (highly accelerated life testing)
Aims
1. To expand upon previous work on a HF ALE simulator by incorporating ionospheric prediction data to determine the amount of channels required by a customer to operate the radio for an acceptable call blocking probability.
2. Build a system to assist in the automated HALT machine at Codan, provide regression testing analysis and automated load variation.
